 Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2005 2:44 am Post subject: Samba: localhost is fine, but nowhere else (RESOLVED) |
 |
|
Hi, new to Samba. I have set up my samba server on Gentoo
I have no problem accessing the windows machines with smbclient but nobody can see my Samba server. Not even the Samba server - unless I connect to localhost. (PC name is thorn, netbios name is thorn in smb.conf)
I am working with the //thorn/tmp share so don't worry too much about other misconfigured shares 
This works: | Code: | # smbclient //localhost/tmp -U=guest
Password:
Domain=[THORN] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.14a]
smb: \> exit |
This fails: | Code: | # smbclient //thorn/tmp -U=guest
Password:
tree connect failed: Call returned zero bytes (EOF) |
My samba server is not visible to any other computers on the windows workgroup and there is no way to get connected.
What have I done wrong?

Do you have "thorn" in your /etc/hosts on the computer you're using to connect to it? Try it with the IP address and see what happens.

Yes, it's there - although you did get me to doublecheck it after some self-doubt.
I am actually on the server (thorn) itself so I am surprised that //thorn/tmp is not recognized when //localhost/tmp is. This has to be something silly I think.

try changing the interfaces line in /etc/samba/smb.conf from:
| Code: |
interfaces = lo, eth0
|
to:
| Code: |
interfaces = 192.168.2.?, eth0
|
where ? is the final digit in the IP address of your server. I had similar trouble to yours until I mae that change. It should be noted that the role of my samba server is different from yours.

That isn't valid CIDR notation. You probably meant 192.168.2.0/24? I don't know if it's the cause of your problem though.

Really? I had assumed that the 0/255 meant that I was allowing all addresses in that range. Following THAT train of logic, I would think that 0/24 would not allow 192168.2.25 to access the share.
Now the operative word here is ASSUME  and we know how that word breaks down. What does the 0/24 mean then? This may be important.

| /24 = 24 bit subnet mask. This is 255.255.255.0, where 255 = 8 bits. |

To expand a bit (heh, sorry) on magic919's answer, CIDR slash notation tells how many bits cannot change in the subnet. So, /24 says the first 24 bits must stay the same. A /8 says only the first 8 bits must stay the same, same as a netmask of 255.0.0.0. The numbers don't have to be an exact byte multiple, you can just as easily have a /29 network, which is what my company has on the Internet. This yields 6 usable IPs (8 total) with a netmask of 255.255.255.248.
www.dnsstuff.com has a neat CIDR "calculator", middle row almost at the bottom.

|

Thanks for the lesson on subnetting! Sure enough, after the changes: | Code: | hosts allow = 192.168.2.0/24 127.0.0.1/8
#interfaces = lo eth0
interfaces = 192.168.2.3, eth0 |
I can now connect (locally only) using: | Code: | | smbclient //thorn/tmp -U=guest |
and NOT using: | Code: | | smbclient //localhost/tmp -U=guest |
Trying to connect from a windows computer (192.168.2.5) goes along just fine as I map a drive as user guest. It asks me for my password (which should be blank for guest) over and over. Checking my /var/log/messages, I find that every time I enter the password on the XP machine, I get the "endpoint is not connected" in my log. When I abandon the effort, I get the "Connection reset by peer" error: | Code: | Aug 10 10:09:09 thorn smbd[21404]: [2005/08/10 10:09:09, 0] lib/util_sock.c:get_peer_addr(1150)
Aug 10 10:09:09 thorn smbd[21404]: getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected

Aug 10 10:09:09 thorn smbd[21404]: getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected
Aug 10 10:09:09 thorn smbd[21404]: Denied connection from (0.0.0.0)

Aug 10 10:09:09 thorn smbd[21404]: getpeername failed. Error was Transport endpoint is not connected

Aug 10 10:09:09 thorn smbd[21404]: write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Connection reset by peer
Aug 10 10:09:09 thorn smbd[21404]: [2005/08/10 10:09:09, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket(455)
Aug 10 10:09:09 thorn smbd[21404]: write_socket: Error writing 5 bytes to socket 24: ERRNO = Connection reset by peer |
-------------------------------
So a quick change to /etc/samba/smb.conf sets me up to connect succesfully using localhost AND thorn: | Code: | hosts allow = 192.168.2.0/24, 127.0.0.1
#interfaces = lo eth0
interfaces = 192.168.2.3, eth0, lo |
From the XP machine I still cannot connect using \\thorn\tmp - but I CAN connect using 192.168.2.3\tmp. So I'm a lot closer now. Since thorn IS in the hosts file on the XP machine, I know that it's on my samba server that I need to make the change.
Following this logic, I experimented with putting "thorn" into my smb.conf and IT WORKS FROM XP!!! | Code: | | interfaces = 192.168.2.3, eth0, lo, thorn |
-------------------------------
I don't know if I've broken any major rules here... but it's working well and I feel a lot more comfortable with my understanding of Samba.
THANKS ALL!!
